Bothj compaines have long since signed/announced a partnership where they wouls work to standarize on elements used with Maemo and Moblin; plus they already work on the ofono phone stack. Merging makes less sense then since its only wiring and plumbing to be standarized, IP can keep the platforms targeted and relevent as already posted about.
For some reason, MS and Intel get a bad rap around here. As if they made the first tablets and set Maemo back a good deal. Just somethingI've noticed.

Unfortunately the extremes of the UIs makes this slightly less than workable in most cases.

OH, ok, now I feel you. Each app would still need a custom UI to fit the new environment.
